The City of Morris recognized efforts from Valeria Garcia and Kira Dergo, state champions in preschool interactive bulletin boards at least year’s SkillsUSA competition and Bradley Raffel, a state champion in the criminal justice category of the competition.

Garcia and Dergo’s portion of the competition involved building a bulletin board with different colored fish that each corresponded to a matching bucket, while Raffel’s competition involved conducting a traffic stop.

Garcia also placed second in a competition for creating a teaching and learning portfolio.

For more information on the competition, the Morris Herald-News wrote about their experiences back in May.
